Licensed hauliers feel they are very exposed to a no-deal Brexit. The budget for 2020 should not make the situation worse for the sector. It asks that we do not increase carbon tax or at least that we provide for its offset for licensed hauliers. The sector also asks for measures to be introduced to reduce fuel costs for licensed hauliers by doubling the rebate level allowed under the diesel rebate scheme from 7.5 cent to 15 cent, reducing the floor at which the rebate starts from €1 to 85 cent and not increasing motor tax, VRT or other taxes on the licensed haulage sector.
